    My BG182 Clio Revamp

    I haven't got exact numbers through driving at the time, but it's a several hundred RPM drop off the standard 182 fifth gear - according to the dial. Mark @NorthloopCup might have some more accurate numbers to hand? I think it would be worth having it done with anyone's gearbox in bits and if...

    BG 182, tidy up!

    Nice - result with that paint issue on the roof too!

    They don't actually specify an amount to pay - just anything really. It just got me a little wary when a payment for a place in Moscow came up. Probably legit, but I'll try the free Lite one for now.

    Do you use the Content Manager Lite or have you got the full version?

    Will have a dabble of those myself I reckon!

    Clio 182 Bumper Exhaust Trims

    I get that - but £35 each? And I bet you'll get a postage fee added on top for something that weights what, 20 grams? There's a time and place to extract a bit of premium on a popular product. I bought one of the carbon fibre front splitters from KTEC myself in the past that I didn't think...

    Clio 182 Bumper Exhaust Trims

    £70 for a pair of plastic arch clips?? :LOL:

    @HardcoreJunglist - if your brakes are that bad - it might be worth looking into a refurb and into the brake lines themselves? Your car is now 15 years old and been subjected to all the crap that the road has to chuck up. My brakes were woeful - though the actual discs and pads were fine. I had...

    Assetto Corsa modding (PC)

    I went straight to Pro settings and it's not that scary a place to be! I've since changed a couple of things, but not much to be seen in the Custom settings. Just watched a few replay sections that I have saved. I still can't get over how bloody good the audio is in this game. Have you...

    Assetto Corsa modding (PC)

    I’ve got a G920 and have played about with the settings slightly in AC. It felt a little too slow for me personally and I increased the sensitivity a little. I don’t know what they’ve done with ACC though. I’ve fired that up from a fresh install and it suits me perfectly. I literally remap a...

    Certain pics not on PC

    It might actually be worth checking what your iCloud backup is being consumed with as well? It could be downloaded music or a film from ages ago, or other backups that you no longer need?

    Certain pics not on PC

    Me neither - and it's one of the biggest silly 'arrogances' of Apple to charge extra for more space. However - it's 79p per month to increase the storage capacity ten-times over standard. When it comes to having that large capacity over the potential of losing pictures or files that I haven't...

    What's your storage quota with iCloud at the minute? Are you on the default limit?

    My BG182 Clio Revamp

    I mentioned and pointed out the tail-pipes to Alex when I was there! Usually horrible, crap-covered things and frustratingly awkward to clean - that now looked super-shiny! I can’t promise how long they will stay like that, but again, little things that all add up in making the car look a lot...

    My BG182 Clio Revamp

    Finally, ‘Collection Day’ arrived – just one day short of the car having been away for three months. I caught the train down to Stansted Airport and arranged with Alex to bob over and meet me in my own car. I heard it before I saw it – walking over from the meet & greet at the airport...

    My BG182 Clio Revamp

    Whilst removing my headlights and swapping parts over, Alex had noticed that part of my driver’s side unit had appeared to have melted at some point in the past. It still worked, but that’s never a good sign! My air-con rad was shot, along with a fair bit of the accompanying pipework. Those...

    My BG182 Clio Revamp

    New bearings in the hubs – I honestly can’t recall if I’d ever had the originals replaced? Alex agreed that the brakes were shocking. Not the pads and discs themselves – but the lack of any direct force applied to them. Quite frankly, it was dangerous – the handbrake creaked and groaned...

    My BG182 Clio Revamp

    My first project thread on here and one that’s a bit of a stretch to call it ‘my project’ as I did little more than agree to things being done! Anyways, a bit of back-story first… Back in November 2018, I created the thread below and kind of sat on it for a while...

    Aussie Clio 172 phase 1 revival

    Nice to hear of another old-timer Clio being resurrected and looked after. How is the underfloor and cills on a car that's been Down Under for two decades? Pretty free of rust?

    Yeah - as @McGherkin says - there are plenty of us on here. If you ignore the likes of iRacing, there really are three main contenders for racing games on the PC right now. Project Cars 2 is a good balance between serious driving and arcade feedback. It’s instantly playable out of the box too...

    Wifi over the plug sockets?

    The worst I've seen was at the home of one of our director's. He had a converted barn and one room was separated from the rest of the house by a solid brick wall - it was part of the original outer wall of the barn itself. Nothing that we tried could get through it - and the router was...

    Wifi over the plug sockets?

    This is the thing. Although it could vary how you get from A to B - you're adding a lot of extra steps into the 'chain' of communication with wireless. Encryption, decryption, interference through building materials, proximity to appliances such as microwaves, distances between the wireless...

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    Yeah - even with fairly thick bevels at the edge of the screens, somehow your eyes see past those to appreciate the three-screen view. I don't spend enough time on racing games to justify the trio, unfortunately.

    Tell you what though - back in late March, numb-nuts here thought he could work from home using his own 27" monitor - and that I wouldn't really require all three monitors from work. How wrong was I! I'd dread to think of the amount of time wasted in minimising/maximising screens, dragging...

    You’d have no trouble with that. Mine is set to 144hz at 1440 on my 1080.

    Windows 10 Help / Info

    Yep - don’t bother with additional AV at all. Although you can still be caught out as such, I think user education is far more useful than weighing down your OS with additional layers of software checks and validation. It also makes it more difficult to assess what’s the core issue if you have...

    Hence my personal preference for a decent monitor. Our TVs are Samsung shite - but I'd be more gutted if anything happened to my PC monitor!

    You're not running via DisplayPort by the looks of it - but this is worth a shot https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/nv-uefi-update-x64/ Stopped the flickering and flashing black screens that I got on mine about 85hz. 144hz was a lottery. Didn't matter if I used a basic cable or a premium one...
